The first destination is Cao Dai Temple which is called Great Temple or Holy See. It will take approximately 2 hours from Ho Chi Minh City. This temple which is constructed in 1926 is a place of worship for those who follow Cao Dai religion. One of the most famous symbols of the Caodaism is the Divine Eye. You will see the symbol of an eye in a triangle which is modified many times on the interior and exterior walls of the temple. You are allowed to take some photos of the temple and the formal ceremony as long as it is done carefully and respectfully. The temple has a unique architectural style that is considered worth visiting. It is not a coincidence that the temple is one of the prominent structures of South – East Asia.

Have lunch at the local restaurant.

Then continue to Cu Chi tunnels to explore this famous and amazing site where revolutionary soldiers lived and fought during the War. However, prior to spending more time exploring this destination, you will be given a short talk and an introductory video about the tunnel systems and many other areas. The network consists of more than 200km of underground tunnels and three levels deep. It became legendary when playing an important role in Vietnam War. Specially, the tunnel systems include a lot of dangerous traps, specially living areas, storages, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers. There is still plenty of evidence of fierce battles that took place during the 1960s. Nowadays, Cu Chi tunnels is a popular attraction for both domestic and international tourists.

Afterwards, enjoy tea, cassava (revolution fighters’ food in wartime).
